Ask the Expert: HR, Payroll & Compliance
Getting the essentials right as your startup grows
From your first hire to a growing team, HR and compliance can feel like a maze of forms, policies, and payroll rules. What really matters at Seed and Series A? Which requirements can’t wait, and which ones come later? How do you avoid costly mistakes while keeping things simple?
In this 60-minute online session, John Muller, Jacob Talley, and Casey Golden from E-Ben Benefits will break it down. They’ll kick off with a quick overview of what founders need to know, then open the floor for a live “Ask the Expert” conversation, where your questions will drive the discussion.
Topics we will explore include:
Common payroll and compliance nuances that trip up even experienced teams
HR compliance milestones and overlooked requirements as you grow from 5 to 20+ employees
Worker classification pitfalls and onboarding considerations for scaling teams
Policies and trainings that become essential as your company expands
Signs it’s time to outsource HR/admin functions, and how to do it well
Bring your questions, this is a chance to get direct, practical guidance from people who’ve supported startups at every stage. You’ll also be able to submit questions in advance when you register.
